We'd like to give out 12 suppositories, each weighing 2 grams and containing 400 milligrams of tannic acid:
Amount of coca butter = 2 gm x 12
= 24 gm
Amount of tannic acid = 0.4 gm x 12
= 4.8 gm.
Tannic acid has a displacement value of 0.9, so:
= 4.8/0.9 = 5.33 gm of base will displace
4.8 gm tannic acid = 5.33 gm cocabutter
Coca butter quantity = 24 gram - 5.33 gm
= 18.67 gm Practice with the free Pharmacy Technician practice test on PracticeTestGeeks (16 questions with answer explanations).
Explanation:
Potassium supplement Klor-Con.
Explanation:
Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide are combined as Diovan HCT.
Explanation:
The drug albuterol is a bronchodilator.
Explanation:
Antihistamines include loratadine, chlorpheniramine, and cetirizine.
Explanation:
Acyclovir is an antiviral medication.
Because the patient's weight is 156 pounds, the weight in kilograms is 156/2.2 = 70.9 kilograms.
A usual medically recommended dose of medication is 10mg/kg/day, hence the dose in the patient mentioned above is 10mg/kg/day.
= 10 x 70.9
= 709 mg
Because each ready-infusion-bag contains 250 mg of medication, the total number of bags needed to satisfy an order is:
= 709/250 = 2.83 = 3 bags.
M = 1,000; C = 100; D = 500; X = 10; V = 5; I = 1
When a smaller Roman numeral is placed before a higher Roman numeral, the subtraction steps are always performed first:
CD = (100 taken from 500) = 400
The rest is addition: M (1,000) + CD (400) + XVI (16) = 1,416
In the Null hypothesis, the total of the probabilities of success and failure equals 1 and can be represented using the following formula:
p + q = 1, where p is the chance of success and q is the probability of failure.
q = probability of failure
q = 1 - p
= 1- 0.6
= 0.4
0.4 percent is the same as 0.4 percent of a hundred.
As a result, dividing 100 by 0.4 (which equals 250) yields the ratio strength of 1: 250. (Modafinil)
Extra credit: see if you can translate 0.7 percent to a ratio strength!
